What else can I help you with?
What do you call a telescope that uses a lens to focus light?
It is called a refracting telescope.
What is the name of the telescope that uses convex lenses to gather and focus light?
Refracting telescope.
What is used to focus light in a refracting telescope?
Concave Mirrors
A telescope that uses a set of lenses to gather and focus light from distant objects?
Refracting Telescope.
What is the difference between a reflecting telescope and a refracting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.
Telescope that uses several mirriors to combine and focus light?
A reflecting telescope forms an image by using a combination of curved mirrors to focus light. It was invented as an alternative to the refracting telescope.
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirror to gather and focus energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather focus light energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
How is a radio telescope similar to a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
Radio telescopes, refracting telescopes, and reflecting telescopes all use mirrors or lenses to collect and focus incoming electromagnetic radiation. The main difference is the wavelength of the radiation they are designed to study – radio telescopes focus on radio waves, refracting telescopes focus on visible light, and reflecting telescopes focus on a variety of wavelengths including visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared.
Is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.
Which type of telescope uses concave mirrors to increase the size of the image being viewed?
Refracting
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
